Georgia's Jarvis Jones Proves Once Again Why He's the SEC's Best Defender

Today’s Florida-Georgia game may not have been for those of you who love high-flying offensive shootouts. But, for those who love a great defensive performance, Georgia’s linebacker Jarvis Jones put on a clinic with a dominating performance.

Jones was a nightmare for the Gators’ offensive linemen as he sacked Florida quarterback, Jeff Driskel, three times. However, Jones' reign of terror didn’t just stop at the Gators quarterback.

On the day, Jones had 13 total tackles, two forced fumbles and two fumble recoveries.

His day ended with an exclamation point when Jones forced a fumble from Gators tight end Jordan Reed.

In case you missed it, here's video of the play from Bleacher Report's own Bennett Spector.

Now let’s go into the play that ended Florida’s chances at winning its annual showdown with Georgia.

With Florida driving for the game-winning score, Driskel finds an open Reed who easily had the first down. Reed, seeing some daylight, decides to turn it upfield. This gives enough time for Jones to sprint towards Reed, allowing him time to catch him.

Reed decides to leap into the air, and at that same moment that Reed leaps, Jones is there to strip him, showing an amazing ability of timing.

Jones was able to track down the Gators’ tight end after being four yards behind him, going from a stop to a full-out sprint.

The big play and huge game from the talented Georgia linebacker sent Georgia University and its fans nuts on Twitter.
